4th Grade students Travis Scott and Baxter Ballinger

When the clock in the Computer Lab started lagging behind, even with new batteries, Mrs. Scott put “ A Clock for the Lab” on her Christmas wish list. Her very creative mother-in-law, Yvonne Scott took the hint and got busy. Using the marketing CD’s that came in the mail, keys off a computer keyboard and a motherboard cut into small pieces, she fashioned this techno time piece as a gift. Because students in the 4th through 12th Grades use the Computer Lab, a large number of SFCS students will be able to enjoy the clock. This includes her 4th and 8th Grade grandsons. “At first we thought the mouse hanging from the bottom was a pendulum, but it turns out to be the mouse that ran up the clock. The kids love it,” said Mrs. Scott. “Every one is always willing to chip in when you need something. My father, Ray Mann made the podium, parents donated the cleaning supplies and the markers were from the PTF. I’m so thankful for the support.”
